Ohhhhhhh, never mind.

-- Shake off all the fears of servile prejudices, under which weak minds are servilely crouched. Fix reason firmly in her seat, and call on her tribunal for every fact, every opinion. Question with boldness even the existence of a God; because, if there be one, he must more approve of the homage of reason than that of blindfolded fear. -- Thomas Jefferson

So do _you_ remember Swingy's post a while back re: "obvious"?

Amusingly enough I got an e-mail about this this morning announcing a new big lathe... 4224B. However, when I clicked on the link for more information I encountered the count down clock that has been up for the past month or so showing 2 hours 18 minutes and counting before the announcement. Reminds me of the time an e-mail came out about how a VP was no longer with the company before they told him.... he read about it on his Blackberry. Someone in IT was in trouble in both cases?

Each time I got some type of email reminder about this Big Thing ,the clock on the reminder was a few hours ahead of the clock on the Powermatic website. I was hoping the Big thing was an announcement that they were going to start manufacturing their table saws once again in the USA. Now they have a lathe that is - size wise - comparable to the ONEWAY. Marc (who is no longer mystified by Powermatic)
